HELP!!!!!

I have managed to place a project in a perpetual loop...

On got focus, a control checks for data in another control, doesn't find it, opens a msgbox and then checks the control again so it constantly loops. All I can now do is click the msgbox and watch it pop up again. I cannot get to the VB behind the form and cannot access any of Access main controls.

Is there a way I can break this cycle without using a three finger salute as the VB coding has not been saved and too many subs have been modified for my brain to remember all the tweeks :eek:.

Regards Brett

<CTL> Break should do it. You can also open the project while holding down a <SHIFT> key to bypass any startup code.

Thanks RG.

<CTL><BREAK> worked nicely. I paniced a little there. Tried every other <CTL> combo but that.
